This course will look at the various mechanisms of evolution, how these mechanisms work, and how change is measured. After a review of the evolutionary concepts of selection and speciation, the course will examine methods of investigating and interpreting evolutionary change, wrapping up with a look at the history of life according to the fossil record and a discussion of the broad range of life forms as they are currently classified. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 312)

This course explores biological changes that happen on a very large scale, across entire populations of organisms and over the course of millions of years, in the form of evolution and ecology. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 102, Psychology 204)

This is an online course recorded in 2009 in the Open Yale Courses Project. From the course main page: This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and educated citizens.Stephen C. Stearns is the Edward P. Bass Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and specializes in life history evolution and evolutionary medicine. He was educated at Yale, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of British Columbia. His books include Evolution, an Introduction; Watching from the Edge of Extinction; and The Evolution of Life Histories, and he is the editor of Evolution in Health and Disease and The Evolution of Sex and Its Consequences. He founded and has served as president of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology and the Tropical Biology Association.

This lab course supplements "Introduction to Evolutionary Biology and Ecology״. Although it does not replicate a true lab experience, it does encourage greater familiarity with scientific thinking and techniques, and will enable exploration of some key principles of evolutionary biology and ecology. This lab supplement focuses on visual understanding, application, and practical use of knowledge. In each unit, the student will work through tutorials related to important scientific concepts and then will be asked to think creatively about how that knowledge can be put to practical or experimental use. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 102 Laboratory)

This course starts at the very beginning with the Big Bang, when the universe was formed. Dr Grady explores our own planet with a look at how life first came about and the range of environments in which it has adapted to survive. Studying organisms that live in the most extreme and inhospitable habitats provides a guide to the limits of life on other planets. Dr Grady moves on to explore places in our solar system where life might be found, before heading out into space to examine the possibilities for life in our galaxy and beyond.
